Frequently Asked Questions
What date is the Darkness Into Light 2025 event?
Darkness Into Light 2025, proudly supported by Electric Ireland, will take place at 4:15 am on the morning of Saturday May 10th.
My country is not listed - how can I take part?
If your country is not listed, unfortunately you will not be able to register for an official walk in that country.
However you will be able to register your own DIL Fundraiser from any country.
I’m having difficulty registering, what do I do?
Firstly, check that you have a valid internet connection. If you are still experiencing problems our team are ready to help. You can contact them by email or phone info@darknessintolight.ie or +353 (1) 541 4746
Where does my registration fee and fundraising go?
If you are based in the Republic of Ireland, all of your registration fee, donations & fundraising goes towards providing the services that Pieta offers, free of charge to those who need them most.
For our Northern Ireland & International events, 50% of registration income and 100% of fundraised income stays locally with the chosen charity partner and Pieta receives 50% of the registration fee.
Do I need a t-shirt to take part in Darkness Into Light this year?
We know that the yellow Darkness Into Light t-shirt is very important to a lot of people, with many wearing it as a badge of honour.
We are encouraging everyone to re-use their DIL t-shirts from previous years where possible. This keeps our running costs down and it is kinder to our planet.
